Some of the trees that caught my eye ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/e/ee238705a4c96e5d96de04a52a7a06563d5d38bc.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/3/3c33e1266f7be288f93804a6d355ebdd7421c55f.jpeg) (pomegranate?) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/7/747ef5f0d841b3982e686163ac7a096c16aaa581.jpeg) Korean Hornbeam ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/d/dfb09d2b1ff86c907e02157eb99dd03197cd3741.jpeg) Hawthorn ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/d/d66afaaddeeb196b99e2183c8d032d6256324df9.jpeg) Maple ---

Awesome trees. I hope to some day attend this show and see some Graham Potter trees in person. ---

Looks like a pomegranate to me. ---

It is a pomegranate and thankfully it’s mine! A good show aimed totally at clubs and a concept that has gone from strength to strength. Mark, Ming and their team put a huge amount of effort into this. Same venue for the show for individuals in April but I don’t know if advertising it is allowed here. ---

That’s an incredible pomegranate and I’m incredibly jealous. (I came to comment and say something like “I’d literally stab somebody for that pomegranate,” but now you’re here and it’s _awkward_ so I’m giving you props instead. 😉 ) ---

Thanks @Blown55, It was my favourite ---

Thanks for the comments, they’re appreciated. I never know how people may react to my more unusual trees. A car friend on seeing this prior to the show asked"why are you putting a dead tree into a show". Luckily he’s a good friend… ---

I keep coming back to stare at that pom. How old is it? How long have you had it? Where did you get it? Do you have any transformation photos? ---

It was an import from Japan to the UK via France. I’ve spent a few seasons building the ramification. ---

What an absolute knock-out. ETA: any chance you could give us a photo with a size reference? ---

Not sure if this helps? Overall height is 18". The show is for groups/clubs hence not an individual display. ![IMG_0570-1024x768](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/4/4606237a8eeaac970c20840f6ea3ff0fd8aa7ad8.jpeg) ---

It helps a lot, thank you! Gosh. Still bowled over. I feel like it comprehensively out-performs everything else in that photo.
